I suggest that in Kant’s conception of autonomy, we have a faithful variant of a perennial philosophical conception of divinity, distinctively re-configured by Kant’s own preoccupations and system, but still recognisably oriented around some philosophical conceptions of the divine, which have their origins in deep classical wells, with dreams and memories of thought-thinking-itself, and joyously diffusing itself, generating plenitude and harmony. If this is correct, then we might find that the most interesting dialogue in the realm of ‘public theology’ is not necessarily between Christianity and secularism, but between Christianity and a latent pagan religious philosophy, that draws upon a perennial strand of Platonism in Western philosophy.

康德、神性与自治

我认为，在康德的自律概念中，我们有一个永恒的神性哲学概念的忠实变体，由康德自己的关注和系统进行了独特的重新配置，但仍然可以识别地围绕着一些哲学的神性概念，这些概念起源于深邃的古典之井，带着思念本身的梦与回忆，欢快地散播着自己，生出充实与和谐。如果这是正确的，那么我们可能会发现，“公共神学”领域中最有趣的对话不一定是基督教与世俗主义之间的对话，而是基督教与潜在的异教宗教哲学之间的对话，后者借鉴了西方柏拉图主义的永恒脉络。哲学。
